Lifeboats survey

Introduction

We are seeking the views of members about lifeboats.

Please complete the survey by Friday 30th April 2021.

The results are anonymous, and will be used by RMT in our continued discussions with the MCA, other regulatory authorities and employers about lifeboats.

The survey is very short - it will only take a couple of minutes at most to complete.
